Hi Matt!

It is probably better to include the following line in the finally block to confirm whether the task was cancelled:

print(f'Was the task cancelled? {delay_task.cancelled()}')

This ensures that you can accurately determine whether the task has been cancelled, especially when users manipulate the time values in the code.

async def main():
    delay_task = asyncio.create_task(delay(2))
    try:
        result = await asyncio.wait_for(delay_task, timeout=1)
        print(result)
    except asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError:
        print('Got a timeout!')
    finally:
        print(f'Was the task cancelled? {delay_task.cancelled()}')
